Well, I pulled the valve covers off tonight. Found out a few things... 1) the push-rod for the exhaust valve on cyl #2 is GONE 2) OH MY GOD, I have never seen anything so disgusting. I think my friends were right... it's smoking so bad because the rocker covers are filling up with oil... I couldn't even FIND the return galleys! I had to look for a picture of the heads in my manual to find were they were supposed to be. I scraped as much as I could..YUK .. not much... and used screwdrivers, wires, brushes etc to try and clean out those galleys as much as I could. Could only go so far to where I guess it makes a turn or something. It looks like someone filled the valve covers with dirt, sand and gravel in there, then made a nice hard oily paste out of it and covered everything. Anyone have any suggestions for flushing out a REALLY gunked up motor? Brian ------------------------ Yahoo!
